Elliott House Inn in Charleston is charming from Queen Street, and the courtyard is lovely. The staff were very pleasant, but failed to remedy this major snafu in my reservation. Imagine reserving a second story room for two nights for your second honeymoon, then finding yourself in a ground floor room with pounding feet overhead until after midnight and your only window less than 10 feet from the kitchen door of a busy restaurant. I now know that restaurant kitchens are busy, bright and LOUD until after midnight, and resume the same clatter around 3:00 a.m. The slats of the window blinds could not block the glare. FYI room 15 is for non-sleepers or catatonics.

I'm saddened to read of your recent stay with us. Due to smaller size of our property (just 25 rooms) we can never guarentee certain room numbers, however we try our best to honor reservation requests, whenever possible. I'm sorry that we were not able to accommodate your second floor room request for your special stay with us.

While the restaurant next door does bring noise, we've recently purchased noise abatement window inserts to help deafen the sounds that hear outside your window. While this doesn't block out 100% of the noise, it does help substaintailly. We are also looking into curtain options with a local design compnay to help soften the noise and the light that you mentioned. I hope that you will give us another try when visiting Charleston. Please understand that we are located in the heart of downtown Charleston and with that comes some noise that we cannot control. I am very sorry for this.

On our first trip to Charleston we needed a room for two nights. The Elliott House Inn fit the bill. The Inn staff is friendly and very informative about where to visit while in town. The pool is small but the delivered continental breakfast is great. This breakfast is either delivered to your room or the relaxing courtyard. The rooms have all been remodeled with a very comfortable but high four poster bed, large flat screen TV and beautiful furnishings. The Inn has a lovely couryard that they also serve wine and cheese dailey around 5pm till 6pm. There are several good restaurants in the area 82 Queen St next door and Hust on the other side. Go right out of the Inn to the corner turn left for about 1 1/2 blocks tio Toast a wonderful restaurant with great food at great prices. I hope to return to Charleston and will definately stay at the Elloitt House Inn. Thanks to all the staff.

Room Tip: Ask the front desk for a room further from the street, they are very accomidating.

I chose to stay here during my first trip to Charleston. The moment I pulled up, it was everything I expected and more. Beautiful exterior architecture, wonderful staff, terrific location for couples and families alike. Close to the water, carriage rides and all the best restaurants. Great price as well. Saved a ton on cabs by staying here.

If you want the BEST of historic Charleston, this is the place to be. It is a historic structure, where the rooms recently underwent major updating renovations. The hotel is centrally located one-half block from "the" intersection of the major streets and immediately adjacent to the best of the restaurants, tourist attractions, and shopping for which Charleston is famous. The narrow, two-lane, one-way street in front of the hotel has limited traffic and, consequently, traffic noise is not a problem. The small number of individually appointed rooms in this boutique hotel assures that you will have something "new" each time you visit. For those touring surrounding attractions with a car, this hotel has something that virtually all Charleston hotels lack -- lots of parking available in a multi-level garage, which is located directly across the street.

Room Tip: My favorite room is number 14. Be sure to ask for it. You will be glad that you did.

Thank you so much for your kind words about The Elliott House Inn. I’m glad to see that you enjoyed the recent renovations that Elliott House Inn has gone under. Also, as you stated the location cannot be beat. As mentioned, the parking right across the street is ideal, because you can leave your car and walk wherever you want. The parking lot across the street is just a mere twenty dollars per day. Once again, thank you for your gracious words about Elliott House, and we hope to see you in the future.

Stayed at the Elliott House for three nights during restaurant week. They offered a special discounted rate that couldn't be beat by any other place in the city. Our room was on the second floor of the courtyard. While it was small, it was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. They serve a simple breakfast in the courtyard or delivered to your room. You can't beat the location of this inn and you can walk to everything in the city from here.

We will definitely stay here again.

My wife and I are just finishing up a 5 day/4 night stay here at the Elliot House. It has been wonderful and we wouldn't hesitate to return to this inn for our next trip. The staff is very helpful and the inner courtyard is sooo beautiful and relaxing. Complimentary breakfast is brought to your room or in the courtyard daily. The beautifully landscaped hot tub has been used by my wife and I every day! You can't beat the location here as you are steps away from awesome restaurants like Husk, Poogans Porch and 82 Queen Street. Around the corner is King Street and non-stop specialty shopping for blocks on-end. Its a short scenic walk to Rainbow Row and the Battery area.

I can't imagine a better location in Charleston. Our room was so comfortable and quiet. The bed was especially comfortable.

You must plan a stay here soon.

Room Tip: We had a first floor room and tucked in a corner.

Thank you for your kind words about The Elliott House Inn. We are incredibly lucky; our location in the historic district is just steps away from all of Charleston’s best historical sights, restaurants, and shopping. I am happy to hear you enjoyed the courtyard and the relaxing Jacuzzi. We would love to have you back!

My wife and I stayed here recently during a much needed long weekend getaway, and was overall very pleased. We got a great rate through a Groupon type deal which made it even better. As other reviewers have noted, there really isnt a good place to load/unload your vehicle. I didn't find this too bad because the parking deck ($20 Fee) is literally directly across the street. We parked our car when we arrived and never touched it again until we left which is one of our favorite things about Charleston. The location was perfect and within an easy walking distance to everything the city has to offer. The few things that were a little too far away was an easy, and free, trolley ride away. The rooms were recently remodeled and were fantastic. The decor was a perfect blend of historic Charleston and modern convenience. We particularly enjoyed that we had windows on both sides of our room. As an upper level room near the front of the Inn, we had a direct view of the restaurant deck located beside us. I thought this would produce a high noise level at night but we never noticed it. It was acutally a little fun peeking out the window and seeing what the food looked like next door lol. Overall, the Elliott House Inn was just what we wanted for our accomodations in Charleston, a quaint historic inn in a perfect location. We will be back!

I am very happy to hear you enjoyed your accommodations. Our location does make it easy to see everything that Charleston has to offer. The free trolley does make getting to those few places that are just a bit too far easily accessible, especially in that hot. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!
